Not to mention there's a female looking male florist....
I'll drink to this! *raises glass* Don't ever let anyone tell you that you aren't a fine fellow yourself!
As for the last few pages:
Oh come now... Surely you're used to a little of this once in a while by now. At the very least be grateful that I try so hard to restrain myself until the evening!
The things I do out of modesty for some of you!
Oh well, there's always the Daisuke Ono character for the cuilan demo.
edit: beaten
Doujin artists won't even have to make up random old people to stick in their doujin, because Tamako Market has those too!
... Ugh. I need to go to sleep before my mental image of Tamako Market is defiled any further.

That... was actually pretty disappointing for all the hype surrounding the finale. You could tell this episode was the one given the least amount of budget and probably outsourced*. It reminded me of a filler Dragon Ball Z episode where the beamspam is turned all the way up to eleven and there's no creativity given to the close-quarters combat beyond the flurry of punches being interchanged. It's a huge downgrade in animation quality from the past five episodes, which I guess is to be expected after such a nice run. I'm hoping it picks up soon, because what's to come next is genuinely intriguing.

As for the way the writers handled the three subordinates' final battle and revelations, I thought it wasn't as impressive as it was done in Umakoshi's attempt. Heartcatch actually didn't explicitly tell you about Cobraja, Sasorina, and Kumojacky's origins. Their return to normal life was never known to the heroines either, and in fact you had to figure out yourself that Prof. Sabaku went out of his way to take their heart flowers out from their comatose bodies --or, maybe, they became comatose because of what he did to them.
I will admit to not foreseeing that the three subordinates were fairies to begin with, which is pretty obvious considering the nature of fairy tales in this universe, so I'll give the show that for lulling me into thinking something else entirely.

I don't know what hurts the most. Your edit, or the terrible truth within it.
That's a guy? *breaks glass and slams down the alarm*

Gonna post some Heartcatch gifs I found while looking for screens of today's Smile in order to cleanse the bad taste of Toei being Toei away:
I even got something for SDBurton!
Ah, that feels much better. Why didn't Smile have something similar to Snackies anyway? Those sandbags had some funny skits!

That little extra squeeze...
Didn't you see the VA list? Daisuke Ono.
Yeah, it was kind of a bad episode even if the final seconds were super hype. I mean, I probably won't even be genuinely mad if the entire endgame looks this bad considering what we got for the past month, but man this was ugly for a supposedly meaningful and climactic confrontation. There was really just the one amazing shot of Akaoni and that was it. I mean,
the design of the Bad End Precures' costumes
skimp next week only to put in an effort for whatever lumbering stupid giant gorilla clown shit SSJ Pierrot ends up being
re the spoilered:
yeah, nothing will probably ever beat how understated and elegant the denouement for Heartcatch's villain trio was. Shit made me tear up yo.

Giovanni hasn't been phased out of the show? And he's finally being given prominence? Holy fuck.
Worst case scenario with Dokidoki we all just rewatch Heartcatch for the good ol' times. I call dibs on Erika's smugface avatar again!

Miranda is the 4th best character in a 2012 show.

Like fifteen years and he can still only communicate to his son through antagonizing him every day of his fucking life.
I'll probably rewatch it relatively soon regardless.

Yuru Yuri Season 1
9/10
Can't wait to watch season 2!
Lovable cast, same sex awkward moments, main character getting shit on and Toshino Kyoko. This show has it all. Definitely a good show to watch if you just want some good laughs and feels. Chitose's family must come from outer space or something. Points for relatively laid back fanservice. It is innocent stuff compared to the monogatari series or some of the stuff gaffers have been talking about lol.

Season 2 has a lot more of the best character, thankfully.

That was only in the musical bro. That's like D-Tier canon.
I just realised I voted it for number two in the AotY 2010 thread. It's the only show from that year I genuinely reminisce about too. Such a great cartoon.
I felt the urge to randomly post this gif.

Why don't I ever learn, knowing Toei it's most likely not out of context, but no matter how hyped I am at the end of an episode does not justify taking a peek at the next episode preview.
Episode on a whole was fairly standard stuff I expect from the genre, the end though, bring on next week.
Thanks to these things called timezones, this is a first thing in the morning for me. T_T
Everything after Johto is D-Tier canon.

You better be talking about Kyoko. She is just amazing. I've seen a lot of anime over the years, but her antics occasionally throw me for a loop even now.
I'm partial to Akari and the student council president. The little kid is super cute too.
Figuratively
The poor girl can't catch a break. She is genuinely entertaining as well, though.

Wait, you didn't like Smile?!
Inaba - Very much a "Mars Bar" show, you know you're not getting anything nutritious out of it but you like what you're getting instead.
Mangirl/Ai-Mai-mi/Osaka - These on the other hand, aren't worth the three minutes it takes to get though an episode.
Inferno Cop - This, however, is the Adult Swim short series Williams Street wishes it could make these days. Sure I could complain about the
but that'd be like screaming at the tide to get it to stop moving, pointless and stupid. Which is the opposite of Inferno Cop.

bad gameplay lol
It's much easier if you think of it as an anime sketch show. There's not a lot in the way of plot, but what is there is pretty entertaining. The main reason to watch Nichijou, though, is the random moments of hilarity. There's only one part of the show I don't like, and that's a certain overly-long recurring skit that takes way too long to get to the punchline (though I suppose that's the joke). Fortunately it only happens three times throughout the series. Otherwise though, it's all pretty wonderful.
Season Two takes a broader view of the entire cast. There are a lot more sequences with the bad characters. Drool twin is the worst.

Oh yes! Join me, join me in my misery when I first read it over a year ago. Anyway, enough of this doujin talk.

Remember the first three episodes of Gurren Lagann and how it looked totally amazing? Remember episode four with the derpfaces and the awful animation and the dumb script that 7th defends to death because he sucks on Osamu Kobayashi's dick? This is what Smile Precure 45 feels like, except with Kobayashi replaced by a disease called Toeirunningoutofmoneyitis.

The show has always been a comedy that relishes in how normal it is at its core. Even its exaggerated elements are rooted in traditional and normal events (a completely surreal stance being more rare than impressions I've seen lead to believe). The tone of the series and the character interactions are still aspects that are to be enjoyed in the show. The "random" in Nichijou is at many times simply the feeling, emotions and confrontations of daily situations taken a notch up. (Aside from some pieces/characters, such as Mai. She's consistently a mysterious one... and Nano who is a robot created by a child named "Professor"
though that label of the character is overshadowed by a personality trait much more...common for her age
Skits that are long-in-the-tooth occur, but they are few. They certainly didn't affect my overall enjoyment of the work. "Hit-and-miss" is another phrase that runs across me as odd. If I understand it correctly at face value, then I'd assume there's a comedy existing that's hits all its notes with everyone? I believe people say it with Nichijou is because of its segmented structure. It's aware to isolate its jokes past the general low-tempo tone of the everyday. The humor doesn't roll throughout constantly in an episode or half (like Gintama or Jinrui
sans a particular event
Anyhow, I hope you find a good time with it in your erm...random watch overall, Tomat. It's excellent.

GL 4 doesn't have awful animation though.

Bad choice of words. I should have said it has barely any animation!
Actually I don't wanna come off too hard on Kobayashi. I thought his Panty and Stocking episode was great! His style just added nothing to Gurren Lagann.
